A good selection of food in Aldi but pretty expensive compared to ASDA here in Torquay which is near Plymouth in Devon UK. You will be amazed at the prices at ASDA. The pizza 🍕 looks great but I can no longer eat due to having Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I would love to see more videos around the area where you live.. You would probably get the same foods for half the price here and a lot of food items you get 2 for the price of 1 here. Enjoy the pizza 🍕 and lots of pepperoni there 😁👌
The own-brand stuff is where the bargains are at. Forget brands like Kelloggs or Lays, get the generic goods, it's probably made in the same factory to the same recipe. Good to see you go for the organic, better quality.
My sister in law works at Jacobs Liverpool, crackers & biscuits for cheese are made for many store brands. I worked for a French fromagerie, our own brand is also packaged for the supermarket labels.
Aldi and lidl own brand products generally keep things simple, they might not be much cheaper than the brands but probably better for you as they don't like selling garbage such as FDA approved food like substances 😅
I know that Lidl and Tescos use the same suppliers for certain goods because at Christmas they both sell a chocolate biscuit selection that is identical in every way apart from the design on the outer box and Lidl's is 50p cheaper!
Half my tools came from the middle aisle 😂, looks so much like the new Aldi near me even down to the E-ink pice markers, also in the uk it's normally £1 for a trolly but lots of us have a fake £1 that's just for trolleys as a lot of us just don't carry cash any more, infact most kids don't even carry a bank card any more
Pay 1.50 a litre, comes from a local Dairy vending machine, verry fresh from that day, totally not messed with full fat grass fed cows you can see the cows from the vending machine
Yet everything has gone up in price here too and the amount has gone down. When my gran was alive she’s always say the washing up liquid bottles were getting smaller and we’d be like ok, but they did. Then I’ve noticed everything that used to be £1 is now over that and these treats I used to like (Lees marshmallows) used to be a pack of 12 are now a pack of 6. Inflation has hit everywhere and the governments don’t seem to care!
The prices are scaled to the size of the GDP of the country, so with the US population at 335,000,000 and food needing to be transported farther distances, that's how the prices are larger. With the UK being a compact island of 70m, with shorter distances to transport food/goods the prices are lower
Yes i noticed everything has lots of plastic packaging. Its time the big supermarkets addressed this. When i go supermarket shopping in UK , Tesco, i can usually buy loose products and put in paper bags or less plastic packaging options are available.
From January 2025, the government in the U.K are charging a levy to Supermkts for plastic packaging. Guess who is going to pay for that pretty quick until they can get their ‘Green’ packaging factories set up.
Remember The White Tide Men are in your area now( They were dressed in white suits). If they knocked on your door and you had a box you got a cash prize.😅😅😅😅
The best thing about ALDI in the UK is that most of the shops are laid out the exact same way, so no matter which shop you go to you can find what you need straight away. There are minor layout differences but nothing to worry about.
Both Aldi and Lidl in the UK aren't as cheap as they used to be but they are still much cheaper than the Aldi in your video. Also, both Aldi and Lidl are famous for their 'middle aisles' which have limited time offers not just on food but on everything from garden furniture and tools to canoes and camping equipment.
To be fair your prices are similar to the UK when you work out the exchange rate re dollars to pound sterling, also your products are packaged in bigger sizes
For anyone wondering or debating this I got Ai to make a cheat sheet for most items mentioned Check it out in the channels pinned comment it's a comment there from me The list takes into account the weight/volume conversion and currency conversions Works each price out per unit and show the winner and deficit in difference Also US PRICES did not include any tax UK included all tax
I would presume the have to pay the extra tax on at least some of the items too? I know some food is tax exempt over there, perhaps because the don't have the mddle aisle products here's no purchase tax? Didn't notice any booze either?
All the vegatables, salad, dairy and bread were 2-3x more expensive than i pay at Tesco/Asda The beef and battery farmed chlorinated chicken seemed considerbly cheaper (Beef I would 100% expect to be cheaper because its the biggest farming animal in the US alongside turkey)
Actually in my home town (Ayr, Scotland) the Aldi is accessed through a kind of side corridor and the trolleys are there, so they are indoors. (But not in the store proper) Where I live in Berlin they are outside too, of course. More selling space in the store!
I'am flabbergasted at how expensive these goods are in America today. I started visiting America 40 years ago and it was always at least half the price of groceries in the UK.
People are very angry and so now we have trump. The poor people believe he will fix it all. America needs a congress that will reign in business, and break up these huge, huge corporations. Monopolies, and there is a lot of price fixing.
My son lives in Maryland & when we travel from the UK to visit him I just about have a heart attack in the supermarkets - 2 to 3 times more expensive than the UK 😮.
Prices in America are apparently much more. You should be thankful. America is becoming to expensive for the average person, and the anger gives them a man like trump. I am from America, but now like in north Germany. Food prices are a bit cheaper. We eat well enough. I feel safer here.
I remember going a lot to aldi's before they started putting adverts on the telly. So quite and a peaceful shopping experience. Now it's so packed that it's like being in a rugby match. Oh, i miss those days. You need to look at their own brands. they are just the same but in different packaging, and usually half the price.
Germany here☝🏻🇩🇪 That's very expensive compared to Aldi here. Wouldn't pay more than a total of 40-45Euro for what you purchased. Interesting comparison. Seems everything is bigger in the US. Even the price of basic grocery items.
Even with Today's currency exchange rate: $1.26 to £1.00. Your prices overall seem higher. Aldi in Salford, UK, charges £1.30 for a wholemeal loaf of bread. Our basket shop per week would average out about £30.00/ £35.00. We do go to other UK Supermarkets on the same Retail park,, as some fresh items can be cheaper ? Tesco's, Morrisons, ASDA, Sainsburys
I am an American now living in Kiel Germany. In recent years prices have gone out of control in America. The average person struggles now. And so the anger gives us a man like trump. My wife and I shop at Famila mostly, and sometimes Aldi.
In the UK and EU Honey cannot legally be labelled as Honey if anything is added to it, even if 0.01% of a sugar, other than a different honey to make a blend. If anything added it must be labelled as Sugar Syrup with Honey.
In Germany it can but it has to reach a specific amount that’s honey. If there’s a label with “added with non EU “ it usually means it’s added with like rice syrup
Aldi don't label it. I've 2 jars in the cupboard. Both under a quid. Although fed on orange blossom, they can't hold a candle to the real stuff from a bee keeper.
I am an American living in Germany now. In America I never saw honey with anything added to it. One could buy honey-butter. That is honey whipped with butter. It is labeled as honey butter.
@@robertanderson7049 you mean honey flavored butter or real honey in butter? Bcz honey is becoming a real luxury good due to dying honey bees from industrial agriculture and climate change
Milk in the UK is all from grass fed cows price varies from shop to shop. The bottles come in 1 pint, 2 pints, 4 pints or 6 pints. For example a 4 pint is about £1.45.
Not quite true re grass fed because there is a range between 100% grass fed who will get herb pellets, grass silage, etc. in winter, and cows who are grass fed in good and reasonable weather, but often supplemented, and can be given all sortds of crap including gmo feed in bad weather. Even if you only grass fed your cows for a month they can be labelled as 'grass fed'.
Lot of products we dont have in UK but 95% of what I did see is a lot lot more expensive than our Aldi prices and sadly no middle aisle-gotta have Aldi middle aisle-great fun and bargains!
A lot of stuff looked like they have more in terms of bulk, so like the avocados you get more in a pack, laundry detergent would definitely last a few months etc.
Tandil (at least in Germany) is the Aldi-specific rebrand of Persil. The company has cut quite a few deals with good-quality brand products here, exact same sizes and contents, just sold under a different (sometimes only slightly modified) name and/or label, and at lower prices. Sometimes you can even tell which brand it is because the label/packaging looks very similar. I know there used to be a German website disclosing all the rebrands; maybe something similar exists in the US?
Hi guys , what's with the high bread prices 😮. If this is cheaper than your usual shop you'll be shocked at our low prices. Thanks for the shopping trip 😊
So much more expensive than here in England!!! Thanks for the experience. I don't think I'll be moving over to the USA. Would soon be bankrupt!!!! Lol. 😅
one thing I've learnt over time is 'shop around'. there are things available in some supermarkets that aren't available in others. as someone with a ridiculously complicated diet due to allergies, it's a case of having to. in Aldis defence, they do have an excellent range of stuff that keeps me going back for more (the vegan battered sausages and katsu curry for one, the second one being I love their sparkling water - it's not so overly carbonated that you're burping for hours after). whilst some of the names on some things seems 'weird', anything labelled Lacura is pretty good - the rest of it is hit and miss, but you'll eventually find something you like and want it regularly. they specialise in random 'one week only' specials. and I'm on high alert for my fav mocktail to appear - and as soon as it does, I'm stocking up!!! Aldi is a bit of a weird animal, but once you get to know it and its quirks, it becomes a good friend.
Good to know that wherever you go, even in the US, Aldi still looks the same. Looks like our locals. We have 3 within car ride away from our home. We switched from Sainsbury's supermarket, which is within walking distance to our home, to Aldi which to us, is a single bus ride away and with the £2 per journey Bus ride and saved 50% off our weekly grocery shop.
Steve seemed to looking mainly at the brands and comparing to Walmart prices. Also the organic and grass fed options are always dearer. I'm curious if the Aldi own brands are near dupes package wise like they are in the uk
I actually feel slightly reassured by the ways you can see upfront things Aldi does to cut costs. If a supermarket is selling goods at much cheaper prices than other companies, but you can't see where the saving are coming from, there's always the worry that it's done by shafting their suppliers, or importing goods from countries with undsafe or exploitative working practices, or something like that. (I know this doesn't necessarily mean they aren't doing these things too- but, as I say, it reassures me.)
Not just that. They almost exclusively have out of town purpose built stores energy efficient stores with low rents. They generally only have one size / brand of products - if you go to Tesco and see 5 brands / sizes of cornflakes, you are paying to see the 4 you don’t buy. Packing at the shelf gets customers through faster. Of course the other side of it is the shrinkflation and giving farmers a bad deal.
@@carolineskipper6976 you could also see their strategy on something like the steak sauce.. Steve highlighted the $4 one, but sitting right next to it, at 1/3 of the price is Aldi's budget offering (and actually the one they want you to buy because despite the lower price their margin on that is probably better)
They have so many cost saving measures which they use to pass on to consumers and here are the ones I know of off the top of my head. Before the UK shopping bag tax of 2016 they were one of the only places to charge customers to take shopping bags (All major supermarket chains had to charge a minimum of 5 pence per bag and Aldi was already selling the same quality bags other stores would give for free for 3 pence before this tax). Even though all major stores now charge for bags Aldi still charges more than other stores and ALL major supermarkets have gotten rid of the style of bags that they would once give away for free and now the cheapest bags they have are 20 pence or 25 from Aldi. Another cost saving measure is to have shopping trolleys/carts that require coins to unlock because it saves on staffing costs as you don't have to deal with a member of staff going up and down the car park or parking lot chasing drown carts that someone has dumped and it also reduces the chances of the theft of the carts because I have seen shopping carts here in the UK belonging to supermarkets that are nowhere near where I found the cart for example I may come across a Tesco cart like 2-3 miles from the nearest Tesco store Then there is the fact they have no packing spaces at the end of the cash registers and have a long shelf just past the checkouts which is meant for packing because this allows the store to cycle through more customers with less cashiers. All these measures along with the outer packaging of products being designed for easy restock allows them to have less members of staff too which also saves on money and their stores are designed to have less warehouse storage space in the pack and more efficient placing on the shop floor further helping reduce prices because they can have more products but in a smaller building which also aids in lower prices. Lastly there is the middle aisle where they always have random goodies and crap that almost everyone will buy. A guy will walk in to Aldi looking for a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread only to leave without the milk since it was out of stock but also leave with a screwdriver set, an inflatable mattress and a toaster that can imprint burn mark patterns on to the bread
It rotates and the also have weekly offers on meat. Also in English supermarkets they have certain labels for marked down items…Aldi is a red sticker (I think) other places have a yellow sticker.
yes, Uk we put £1 in the shopping trolleys (carts). Most of the time that involves just handing a £1 to another shopper who is done with teirsh As for prices, still seems expensive compared to the UK, most of the salad/vegetables and dairy was 1.5x to 2x the price, but cheaper than other US prices I've seen. Beef on the other hand seemed MUCH cheaper, Chicken was a lot cheaper as well, but, you cant get battery chlorinated chicken here :D Also, the sight of eggs in chillers is utterly bizarre to me :D
Before they changed the British pound to not round anymore, I used to use a themed “coin” it was this thing that someone got me for my birthday once with my name on, and I used to use that instead.
Beef didn't seem cheap to me, remember they are talking price per lb whereas we typically have it labelled as price per kg. Chicken only seemed a little more expensive than we pay. As for eggs in the fridge they have a very different climate and lower quality eggs than we do.
@@margaretcaine4219 They do indeed wash the natural protective coating off in some countries because they have much lower hygiene and safety standards in addition to lower welfare conditions.
Extremely expensive, I was shocked by the cost of Romaine lettuce, that would be more like £0.59-£0.69 in the UK. Some prices seem ok but most are more than double and often x5 what we pay. For example the loaf of bread that was $5.19 would be more like £1.20 in the UK and could be as low as $0.79 in Audi. Ice burg Lettuce is £0.35-£0.50 in all UK supermarkets. Our Watermelon is normally £1.90-£2.50. You're bags of trail mix were not terrible the same bag would range from £1.10 to £1.79, you payed $2.69 for it so its quite close. But the bigger containers of mixed nuts were $12.49 for you, they would be more like £3.00 for us. OMG I just noticed the prices you're looking at are before tax.... My diet would take a massive hit if I ever moved to the USA. Also something very strange is that you're cheese is not all kept in a fridge? What the hell do they put in it to make it shelf stable? At a guess I think that same shopping total would be something in the range of £25-30 in a UK Aldi. A lot of that cost would be the very large Pizza they can be upto £6-7 in Audi/Morrisons, but also as low as £3-4 in Iceland or Heron Foods for the same Pizza.
@@no-oneinparticular7264Right? But that's cos we'd go there vowing to not chow down on chemicals and chips, instead of cod and chips! 😳 *"Would you like an extra portion?"* "Portion of chips?" *"Sorry, POISON!

@@no-oneinparticular7264 I'm not sure about that, I would eat less and have to work a lot more but its petty much impossible to walk anywhere, so I would go from house to car to work to car to house every day.... seems like a very poor life style for staying in shape.
That aldi is so much more expensive than the uk plus we don't pay extra at the till,what the price on the shelf is we only pay that price,the shopping trolly you get money back when you finish
Having been brought up on the Romney Marsh Kent where the worlds best lamb is. All the sheep in Australia and New Zealand originated from here. I would be gutted as eat Lamb at least 3 times a week
@@DiscusRusselljust got back from a holiday in Romney, don't live that far away (Brighton) just fancied a change of scenery and a sandy beach. I didn't get the chance to get any lamb😢
the reason some prices may look higher in the uk is that in the us they add the VAT at the till on checkout but in the uk the VAT is already added to the price tag on the shelf that why prices in the uk may say something like £4.99 Inc VAT
Remember even changing gallons to litres, the US still has different measurements for those to Europe. Also the amount of Millilitres in a pint in the US is different to the ojnt in Europe.
Aldi (and the other German supermarket, Lidl) will sell what the local market wants like all supermarkets. Americans don't generally eat lamb so it won't be for sale in their American stores.
@@panman1964 I believe it's not impossible to get it but it is not sold everywhere. So you might have to track down a butcher or find it in a farmer's market but cheap supermarkets are not the place to find it. People in Britain eat pheasant and hare and deer meat but you might struggle to find them in an Aldi.
I'm born in the northwest of England, live in New Zealand and you're cheaper than we are, fruit and vegetables are similar, everything else is way cheaper in the US. I live in the heart of vineyard country here, but 300grams of grapes, about 3/4 of a pound are about $5 US. A decent one person ribeye steak is about $20 US. The prices here are unbelievable. The average rent for a rundown 3 bedroom, uninsulated home here is about $2700 US per month and the minimum wage which the vast majority of people earn is about $600 per week, power is on average $280 per month. Hence New Zealand has a huge per capita amount of homelessness and a growing problem with fentanyl, violent crime is through the roof and people say how beautiful New Zealand is the idyllic paradise.. stay safe guys, love your content.
Wow,i had no idea things were so bad in New Zealand,I had the "idyllic paradise" view,that's sad to hear,it seems no country has escaped the cost of living crisis.
Hi I live in the North West of England and Aldi is so cheap…the price in pounds would have been about half what they paid. My daughter in law is from Auckland and they can’t afford to go and live in New Zealand which is a shame as such a beautiful country.
2:25 your totally right there. I remember when they first showed up in uk and didn’t even really have much shelving. Things where stacked on boxes and they still had to type the numbers for everything even though I’m not that old and there was plenty of supermarkets with scanners 😂
I remember when I started shopping at Aldi back in the 90's. There were no barcode scanners or any technology at the tills. All the prices were in the checkout person's head.
Wrong.... it's bread made with unbleached flour! 😁 They still bleach theirs white over there with bromide... Cos a little bit of Cancer for lunch never hurt anyone....🙄
the largest container of milk sold here is 6 Imperial pints which generally goes in supermarkets for around about £ 1.60 I think I normally buy smaller amounts
That was an interesting visit round a US Aldi, I think you would be surprised at the difference in prices in a UK Aldi. Well done to Sophia too as it must have taken more time filming than going on a regular shop with her mum and dad.
@@susanlee5508 It still works out more expensive there unless you live on junk and have no decent insurance etc.... My father had a short term contract out there and said overall, even with a 40% pay upgrade and other benefits whilst there, he was better off overall back here.
It is overall, the again Aldi in Germany is cheaper than ours, usually. What costs two pounds fifty here, if they sell the same thing there, will cost two euros fifty there. My German sister-in-law normaly tells us in advance of any decent offers comming up, as we usually get the same offers in the UK (Mainly middle aisle goods) a couple of weeks later?
I’m part Italian; you can blend a bunch of fresh tomatoes or canned (with low salt) and blitz that in a blender, pour over some fried onion and garlic. Simmer for about 1 hour. You can add a fresh herb if you want to. You usually use the same amount of cans for the same amount of people; so x3 cans for 3 people. Or you could use way more if your making it in bulk. You can can it up or freeze it for another time or use it as ice cube moulds for other recipes, like soups. ❤
I LOVED watching you guys ❤️(you're like my additional American family 😁) go round a store we are familiar with. However it's SO VERY DIFFERENT to our Aldi! Shockingly so 😮! When considering that at this time, there isn't much difference between the $ and the £ For example all our milk comes from what's called Dairy cow's, they are all mainly grass fedand through the absolute WORST of the winter month's fed hay, with some pellets of compressed grass with added nutrients (but this is only in the frosty snowy weather). Everything except your fruit and veg, and good Irish cheese! (I'm from Scotland and wonder if there was any Scottish cheese 🤔🤔) I would say is more expensive even in an Aldi store, which was so surprising! In the Scottish Aldi, all our milk, cheese, and most of our soft fruits in season, and veg which can be grown here and meats are marked with a Scottish flag to show that they are products from here, many relatively local, or at least from our tiny country 😂. It's a great sign of quality, when you know it's grown locally. Also low air miles! It's not travelled 100's and 100's of miles just to get on your plate 😂 ❤
If you check the price of milk across all uk supermarkets it is roughly the same price. As most supermarkets now price match lots of items to Aldi and or Lidl or have their own essentials range which in most cases are just as good as branded product’s The only thing I have found that I don’t like are supermarkets own brand cornflakes (very sweet compared to Kellogg’s)
Hi Steve! This is so funny... I've been working on my ALDI video for a couple months and finally published it today. And then UA-cam served me up your video and I was so surprised... great minds think alike! I had never really shopped at ALDI either, and really liked finding such great deals. But then I went to LIDL here in the UK, and it's even better! Same low prices but I think the product quality and the atmosphere in the stores is way better. But we don't have LIDL near us in Texas, just ALDI ;-) Great video! Dara
But where was the patio furniture, gas bbq,300 piece socket set etc its a male ritual in uk to pop to aldi for bread and turn up back home with a compressor and accessories.
we are Brits and been to the USA 18 times over 40 years. When we first went in the 80s I was shocked how cheap food was there compared to the US and over the years they have taken over us and are now really expansive. Our son works and lives with his American fiancé in Columbus Ohio and they use Aldi a lot instead of Giant eagle and Krogers which they used to use btu they now have a local store called Trader Joes and they love the choice and the prices are great but I checked and the nearest one to you is in Louisville KY. ☹
The brands you are not familiar with are Aldi's own brands. There are many online comparisons on UK website against the market leaders. The chocolate is very good actually. You make savings by trying the Aldi version
A little secret i will let slip... yes we do have to use either £1 or a coin slide imitation of a £1 for the trollys, but also, the key that opens the corned beef tins that we have in the stores in the uk or similar key on other tins to open, also work to unclip the trolly by using the handle part of the key. It may be different shape fir your trolly shopper in the USA.
Worth clarifying that the coin to "pay for the cart" is totally refunded when the cart is returned after shopping. Milk in the UK is around £2.41 for a US Gallon (= US$ 3.07) ... Although we don't buy it in US Gallons. We buy it in (UK) Pints, Yes, PINTS because dairy and beer is still sold in imperial measures - Don't ask!!)
I mainly pop into Aldi or Lidl just for extra virgin olive oil and beer, and a few other bits which take my fancy as I walk around, my local Lidl does Staropramen and Budweiser Budvar which are actually brewed in Czechia and imported which makes a big difference over the ones brewed in the UK on license, they're both so good! Have you eve tried Czech Budweiser Budvar, it's so good and nothing like American Bud.
I agree about the beer. An interesting story: apparently Budweiser was founded by a Czech brewery worker who emigrated to the US from Budvar sometime in the 1800's. 100 years later when Budweiser entered the European market, they tried to stop Budvar from using their name. Budvar had been brewing and using the name Budvar for centuries. Needless to say, the yanks lost in court.

What is sadly lacking there is the Aldi middle aisle!
Go in for a pint of milk and come out with a trombone, a wetsuit, a microwave and no milk.
@@katashworth41😂😂😂😂😂
The middle aisle of DESTINY...
Half my tools came from the middle aisle 😂, looks so much like the new Aldi near me even down to the E-ink pice markers, also in the uk it's normally £1 for a trolly but lots of us have a fake £1 that's just for trolleys as a lot of us just don't carry cash any more, infact most kids don't even carry a bank card any more
Pay 1.50 a litre, comes from a local Dairy vending machine, verry fresh from that day, totally not messed with full fat grass fed cows you can see the cows from the vending machine
Scary how everything is still twice the price of stuff in the UK.
Yep! Pretty expensive
plus you have to add tax onto those shelf prices!!!
Yet everything has gone up in price here too and the amount has gone down. When my gran was alive she’s always say the washing up liquid bottles were getting smaller and we’d be like ok, but they did. Then I’ve noticed everything that used to be £1 is now over that and these treats I used to like (Lees marshmallows) used to be a pack of 12 are now a pack of 6.
Inflation has hit everywhere and the governments don’t seem to care!
Not really when you do the conversions
The prices are scaled to the size of the GDP of the country, so with the US population at 335,000,000 and food needing to be transported farther distances, that's how the prices are larger.
With the UK being a compact island of 70m, with shorter distances to transport food/goods the prices are lower
Btw, Aldi in Germany has replaced most plastic packaging with paper, especially with greengrocery.
That’s so cool. You guys are always so ahead of saving the planet ❤
Yes i noticed everything has lots of plastic packaging. Its time the big supermarkets addressed this. When i go supermarket shopping in UK , Tesco, i can usually buy loose products and put in paper bags or less plastic packaging options are available.
From January 2025, the government in the U.K are charging a levy to Supermkts for plastic packaging. Guess who is going to pay for that pretty quick until they can get their ‘Green’ packaging factories set up.
We've started doing that in UK as well, things like steaks are vacumn sealed onto cardboard packaging cutting single use plastics.
When I travel overseas, I always go to a grocery store. I find that you learn more about a country there, than you do anywhere else.

I got Ai to make a cheat sheet for most items mentioned
Check it out in the channels pinned comment it's a comment there from me
The list takes into account the weight/volume conversion and currency conversions
Works each price out per unit and show the winner and deficit in difference
Also US PRICES did not include any tax UK included all tax
Frightening prices , i had to hide behind the sofa lol , Sophia is a legend 🤣🤣👍👍
Splophia is a literal piece of cake with legs and blonde hair.
@@rosey-19there’s a culture in the US of couponing, there was a show on one of the Discovery channels called extreme couponing.
I would presume the have to pay the extra tax on at least some of the items too? I know some food is tax exempt over there, perhaps because the don't have the mddle aisle products here's no purchase tax?
Didn't notice any booze either?
wow, that Whole brown bread with seeds is very expensive! equates to £4.09 in uk! Tesco same is £1.30 ($1.65)
This is what I thought too.
just back from Tescos here in Scotland paid 75p up here
My local Aldi they are 85p
I just bought a 800g whole grain farmhouse loaf in M&S for £1.70
All the vegatables, salad, dairy and bread were 2-3x more expensive than i pay at Tesco/Asda
The beef and battery farmed chlorinated chicken seemed considerbly cheaper
(Beef I would 100% expect to be cheaper because its the biggest farming animal in the US alongside turkey)
Yes all trolleys are outside Aldi in the U.K.
@@alistairbolden6340outside day and night in bradford
And we have to put £1 in the trolley slot.
But you get it back.@@susanclose3229
That's cool! Good to know :)
Actually in my home town (Ayr, Scotland) the Aldi is accessed through a kind of side corridor and the trolleys are there, so they are indoors. (But not in the store proper) Where I live in Berlin they are outside too, of course. More selling space in the store!
I've just been to Aldi and bought 23 items for £26.38. Mostly salad stuff and cakes for my dad.
At 82, he deserves cake! 😁🍰🍅
if I remember right, in the US they also add the tax on at the checkout, where in UK it includes the tax on the price tag
There is no tax on food items.
Thank you for a look at a shopping trip looks like and costs in the USA.
I'am flabbergasted at how expensive these goods are in America today. I started visiting America 40 years ago and it was always at least half the price of groceries in the UK.
People are very angry and so now we have trump. The poor people believe he will fix it all. America needs a congress that will reign in business, and break up these huge, huge corporations. Monopolies, and there is a lot of price fixing.
Fun fact A1 steak sauce was invented in 1824 in Buckingham palace by a royal chef the A1 is a standard of quality used.
A1 started as a ship insurance term to describe a "first rate" ship!! - then obviously it was given the name to mean "First rate" :D
I didn’t know that. It’s interesting! Fun fact 😂
Never heard of it.🇬🇧
Gosh guys your food prices are mostly more expensive than here in the UK.
Love watching your channel 🌹🌹
I was shocked at how much more food costs in the USA!
the berries and fruit works out way cheaper there than here though
I believe they have to add tax on at the till too.
They live in a city that is very expensive and there was no sales tax on the fruits and vegetables .
@@davidbennett3098 no taxes on fruits and vegetables in the US, only ready to eat meals are taxed in the US.
Cheddar is actually the name of a village in Somerset in the UK
More specifically the gorge near the village which housed cheese caves.
The chocolate is from Germany. We sometimes find lamb in our Aldis. Most Aldis follow European food guidelines, which are better than USAs.
My son lives in Maryland & when we travel from the UK to visit him I just about have a heart attack in the supermarkets - 2 to 3 times more expensive than the UK 😮.
My cousin lived in Florida. The prices were astronomical compared to here.
In the US you pay VAT at the checkout, so the price you see on the shelves may not be the price you pay. Very expensive compared to UK Aldi.
In the 1970s it was the other way round. Everything in Maryland seemed like a bargain compared with home.
@@101steel4 and we in the UK complain about the prices all the time
Farmers in the UK only get 10p a pint of milk from the sale to the supermarkets, it cost more to keep cows
That is absolutely shocking. 😮
7.19 for large pizza that would be 3.50 in uk frozen ones £1.99
If you get a basic one; just cheese I think they’re £1 or less. Yeah just checked the website the basic ones are 55p which is apparently 70cents.
Prices in America are apparently much more. You should be thankful. America is becoming to expensive for the average person, and the anger gives them a man like trump. I am from America, but now like in north Germany. Food prices are a bit cheaper. We eat well enough. I feel safer here.
Amazed at how few customers in the place
Yes. Uk is so busy. If I go, I visit really late at night
@@lisab9734 It was mentioned it only been open a month. Word has not travelled yet. of course. location may be a factor too.

Thats brilliant to see you out in aldi prices are so different here in uk was good to see the real difference
My God guys what you have to pay for food is incredible!!
I remember going a lot to aldi's before they started putting adverts on the telly. So quite and a peaceful shopping experience. Now it's so packed that it's like being in a rugby match. Oh, i miss those days. You need to look at their own brands. they are just the same but in different packaging, and usually half the price.
Germany here☝🏻🇩🇪
That's very expensive compared to Aldi here. Wouldn't pay more than a total of 40-45Euro for what you purchased.
Interesting comparison. Seems everything is bigger in the US. Even the price of basic grocery items.
Even with Today's currency exchange rate: $1.26 to £1.00. Your prices overall seem higher. Aldi in Salford, UK, charges £1.30 for a wholemeal loaf of bread.
Our basket shop per week would average out about £30.00/ £35.00. We do go to other UK Supermarkets on the same Retail park,, as some fresh items can be cheaper ? Tesco's, Morrisons, ASDA, Sainsburys
I am an American now living in Kiel Germany. In recent years prices have gone out of control in America. The average person struggles now. And so the anger gives us a man like trump. My wife and I shop at Famila mostly, and sometimes Aldi.
In the UK and EU Honey cannot legally be labelled as Honey if anything is added to it, even if 0.01% of a sugar, other than a different honey to make a blend. If anything added it must be labelled as Sugar Syrup with Honey.
A lot of US food products are not even allowed in many EU countries because of the additives in them.
In Germany it can but it has to reach a specific amount that’s honey. If there’s a label with “added with non EU “ it usually means it’s added with like rice syrup
Aldi don't label it.
I've 2 jars in the cupboard.
Both under a quid.
Although fed on orange blossom, they can't hold a candle to the real stuff from a bee keeper.
I am an American living in Germany now. In America I never saw honey with anything added to it. One could buy honey-butter. That is honey whipped with butter. It is labeled as honey butter.

We dont really have A1 sauce in the uk but fun fact - it is a British invention!
Replaced by the superior HP sauce
You can get it but not common
It tastes like our brown sauce.
Invented by a chef in bucks palace.
Milk in the UK is all from grass fed cows price varies from shop to shop. The bottles come in 1 pint, 2 pints, 4 pints or 6 pints. For example a 4 pint is about £1.45.
A UK pint is 20oz a US pint is only 16oz.
Not quite true re grass fed because there is a range between 100% grass fed who will get herb pellets, grass silage, etc. in winter, and cows who are grass fed in good and reasonable weather, but often supplemented, and can be given all sortds of crap including gmo feed in bad weather. Even if you only grass fed your cows for a month they can be labelled as 'grass fed'.
Where are the unsweetened cereals? Rolled Oats is the crowning glory of cereals!
Thumb nail thought you guys were here IN THE MOTHERLAND!!❤❤❤😂😂
hahah, we wish! Hopefully in the near-ish future.
Your Aldi prices are probably higher than our Waitrose prices. Very expensive compared with over here.
Not when you convert it. Their cheese is seriously cheap
Love this channel! Keep doing more of this content, we love the uk comparisons
Lot of products we dont have in UK but 95% of what I did see is a lot lot more expensive than our Aldi prices and sadly no middle aisle-gotta have Aldi middle aisle-great fun and bargains!
A lot of stuff looked like they have more in terms of bulk, so like the avocados you get more in a pack, laundry detergent would definitely last a few months etc.
Great job guys! Enjoyed seeing you out and about.
Thanks! Appreciate you watching :)
Tandil (at least in Germany) is the Aldi-specific rebrand of Persil. The company has cut quite a few deals with good-quality brand products here, exact same sizes and contents, just sold under a different (sometimes only slightly modified) name and/or label, and at lower prices. Sometimes you can even tell which brand it is because the label/packaging looks very similar.
I know there used to be a German website disclosing all the rebrands; maybe something similar exists in the US?
No special buys in the middle aisles, but my biggest surprise was how empty the store was ours are always really busy x
Hi guys , what's with the high bread prices 😮. If this is cheaper than your usual shop you'll be shocked at our low prices. Thanks for the shopping trip 😊
I get my wonder bread at Aldi, it is $2.90 , I would pay $3.97 for wonder bread at Market 32 and Hannafords.
The bigger name brands are basically the same price as Walmart and other stores, but the Aldi brand was a little cheaper than normal.
So much more expensive than here in England!!! Thanks for the experience. I don't think I'll be moving over to the USA. Would soon be bankrupt!!!! Lol. 😅
one thing I've learnt over time is 'shop around'. there are things available in some supermarkets that aren't available in others. as someone with a ridiculously complicated diet due to allergies, it's a case of having to.
in Aldis defence, they do have an excellent range of stuff that keeps me going back for more (the vegan battered sausages and katsu curry for one, the second one being I love their sparkling water - it's not so overly carbonated that you're burping for hours after). whilst some of the names on some things seems 'weird', anything labelled Lacura is pretty good - the rest of it is hit and miss, but you'll eventually find something you like and want it regularly.
they specialise in random 'one week only' specials. and I'm on high alert for my fav mocktail to appear - and as soon as it does, I'm stocking up!!!
Aldi is a bit of a weird animal, but once you get to know it and its quirks, it becomes a good friend.
Good to know that wherever you go, even in the US, Aldi still looks the same. Looks like our locals. We have 3 within car ride away from our home.
We switched from Sainsbury's supermarket, which is within walking distance to our home, to Aldi which to us, is a single bus ride away and with the £2 per journey Bus ride and saved 50% off our weekly grocery shop.
Looks the same as an Aussie Aldi
the thought of not getting best prices available at ALDI is mind blowing!...
I've not been in Aldi for some years but it always seemed slightly more expensive than Lidl.
Steve seemed to looking mainly at the brands and comparing to Walmart prices. Also the organic and grass fed options are always dearer. I'm curious if the Aldi own brands are near dupes package wise like they are in the uk
I was thinking it wasn't that much different until you read your bill out, an good lord that's expensive
Yes it's like M and S/Waitrose prices here, but for ALDI
Why is bread so expensive in America?
Because it's cake?
I buy wonder bread at Aldi for $2.90. It will cost me, $3.97 for wonder bread at Market32 and Hannafords.
@@marydavis5234 that's so expensive! In England we can get bread for as little as 79p and it's nice bread.
@@slytheringingerwitch 😂 is it that bad 😂
@@hauntedmoon1191 Yes. Very bad.
Over here in the UK you could fill an entire trolley for eighty five quid
That is how Aldi operates, it saves a fortune on shelf filling by placing full boxes on the shelves and just ripping the top and front off them .
This is precisely how Tesco started, I remember shopping there.
I actually feel slightly reassured by the ways you can see upfront things Aldi does to cut costs. If a supermarket is selling goods at much cheaper prices than other companies, but you can't see where the saving are coming from, there's always the worry that it's done by shafting their suppliers, or importing goods from countries with undsafe or exploitative working practices, or something like that. (I know this doesn't necessarily mean they aren't doing these things too- but, as I say, it reassures me.)
Not just that. They almost exclusively have out of town purpose built stores energy efficient stores with low rents. They generally only have one size / brand of products - if you go to Tesco and see 5 brands / sizes of cornflakes, you are paying to see the 4 you don’t buy. Packing at the shelf gets customers through faster. Of course the other side of it is the shrinkflation and giving farmers a bad deal.
@@carolineskipper6976 you could also see their strategy on something like the steak sauce.. Steve highlighted the $4 one, but sitting right next to it, at 1/3 of the price is Aldi's budget offering (and actually the one they want you to buy because despite the lower price their margin on that is probably better)
They have so many cost saving measures which they use to pass on to consumers and here are the ones I know of off the top of my head.
Before the UK shopping bag tax of 2016 they were one of the only places to charge customers to take shopping bags (All major supermarket chains had to charge a minimum of 5 pence per bag and Aldi was already selling the same quality bags other stores would give for free for 3 pence before this tax). Even though all major stores now charge for bags Aldi still charges more than other stores and ALL major supermarkets have gotten rid of the style of bags that they would once give away for free and now the cheapest bags they have are 20 pence or 25 from Aldi.
Another cost saving measure is to have shopping trolleys/carts that require coins to unlock because it saves on staffing costs as you don't have to deal with a member of staff going up and down the car park or parking lot chasing drown carts that someone has dumped and it also reduces the chances of the theft of the carts because I have seen shopping carts here in the UK belonging to supermarkets that are nowhere near where I found the cart for example I may come across a Tesco cart like 2-3 miles from the nearest Tesco store
Then there is the fact they have no packing spaces at the end of the cash registers and have a long shelf just past the checkouts which is meant for packing because this allows the store to cycle through more customers with less cashiers. All these measures along with the outer packaging of products being designed for easy restock allows them to have less members of staff too which also saves on money and their stores are designed to have less warehouse storage space in the pack and more efficient placing on the shop floor further helping reduce prices because they can have more products but in a smaller building which also aids in lower prices.
Lastly there is the middle aisle where they always have random goodies and crap that almost everyone will buy. A guy will walk in to Aldi looking for a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread only to leave without the milk since it was out of stock but also leave with a screwdriver set, an inflatable mattress and a toaster that can imprint burn mark patterns on to the bread
Happy to see a charming Happy Family..Viewed in London 😊 Nice you like Us 😊
Wow how expensive is that bread. I got a loaf for 0.68p today
It’ll be interesting to see what you guys think of the food quality.
Aldi always have the " super 6 " vegetables of the week
It rotates and the also have weekly offers on meat. Also in English supermarkets they have certain labels for marked down items…Aldi is a red sticker (I think) other places have a yellow sticker.
It's cool to see you guys out and about.
yes, Uk we put £1 in the shopping trolleys (carts). Most of the time that involves just handing a £1 to another shopper who is done with teirsh
As for prices, still seems expensive compared to the UK, most of the salad/vegetables and dairy was 1.5x to 2x the price, but cheaper than other US prices I've seen.
Beef on the other hand seemed MUCH cheaper, Chicken was a lot cheaper as well, but, you cant get battery chlorinated chicken here :D
Also, the sight of eggs in chillers is utterly bizarre to me :D
Before they changed the British pound to not round anymore, I used to use a themed “coin” it was this thing that someone got me for my birthday once with my name on, and I used to use that instead.
Beef didn't seem cheap to me, remember they are talking price per lb whereas we typically have it labelled as price per kg. Chicken only seemed a little more expensive than we pay.
As for eggs in the fridge they have a very different climate and lower quality eggs than we do.
@@CeridwenEdwards-mu2rwThey wash the natural coating off the eggs and so they go off quickly if not refrigerated.
@@margaretcaine4219 They do indeed wash the natural protective coating off in some countries because they have much lower hygiene and safety standards in addition to lower welfare conditions.
Extremely expensive, I was shocked by the cost of Romaine lettuce, that would be more like £0.59-£0.69 in the UK. Some prices seem ok but most are more than double and often x5 what we pay. For example the loaf of bread that was $5.19 would be more like £1.20 in the UK and could be as low as $0.79 in Audi. Ice burg Lettuce is £0.35-£0.50 in all UK supermarkets. Our Watermelon is normally £1.90-£2.50. You're bags of trail mix were not terrible the same bag would range from £1.10 to £1.79, you payed $2.69 for it so its quite close. But the bigger containers of mixed nuts were $12.49 for you, they would be more like £3.00 for us.
OMG I just noticed the prices you're looking at are before tax.... My diet would take a massive hit if I ever moved to the USA.
Also something very strange is that you're cheese is not all kept in a fridge? What the hell do they put in it to make it shelf stable?
At a guess I think that same shopping total would be something in the range of £25-30 in a UK Aldi. A lot of that cost would be the very large Pizza they can be upto £6-7 in Audi/Morrisons, but also as low as £3-4 in Iceland or Heron Foods for the same Pizza.
I definitely would lose weight if I lived there.

@@DiscusRusselljust got back from a holiday in Romney, don't live that far away (Brighton) just fancied a change of scenery and a sandy beach. I didn't get the chance to get any lamb😢
It’s funny. I always come out of Aldi having bought loads of things I never knew I needed.
the reason some prices may look higher in the uk is that in the us they add the VAT at the till on checkout but in the uk the VAT is already added to the price tag on the shelf that why prices in the uk may say something like £4.99 Inc VAT
Wow!! the Building and the car park are identical to one of our Aldi's in Cheshire ( same blueprint)

Thought you may find the Three rivers race on the Norfolk broads interesting only seen it myself on tv today in uk
Here in Croatia milk is normally in one litre cartons or plastic bottles. In Lidl a litre carton is €0.99
Remember even changing gallons to litres, the US still has different measurements for those to Europe. Also the amount of Millilitres in a pint in the US is different to the ojnt in Europe.
Yes we do have our shopping trollies out side and we also have to pay a £1 deposit on the trolley
It’s a problem when you ask how much milk is, when your pints and gallons are smaller than ours
And you can't get milk by the gallon in the UK, it has fewer preservatives (if any) so would go off before you could use it all.
Enjoy your shop
shocked to here no lamb over there, we Brits love our lamb
Aldi (and the other German supermarket, Lidl) will sell what the local market wants like all supermarkets.
Americans don't generally eat lamb so it won't be for sale in their American stores.

@@daveyr7454 People who are educated and got a job that pays more than minimum wage.

I'm born in the northwest of England, live in New Zealand and you're cheaper than we are, fruit and vegetables are similar, everything else is way cheaper in the US. I live in the heart of vineyard country here, but 300grams of grapes, about 3/4 of a pound are about $5 US. A decent one person ribeye steak is about $20 US. The prices here are unbelievable. The average rent for a rundown 3 bedroom, uninsulated home here is about $2700 US per month and the minimum wage which the vast majority of people earn is about $600 per week, power is on average $280 per month. Hence New Zealand has a huge per capita amount of homelessness and a growing problem with fentanyl, violent crime is through the roof and people say how beautiful New Zealand is the idyllic paradise.. stay safe guys, love your content.
Minimum wage $600 per week & 3 bedroom, uninsulated home about $2700 US per month is Rent = wages. No money left for anything else.
Wow,i had no idea things were so bad in New Zealand,I had the "idyllic paradise" view,that's sad to hear,it seems no country has escaped the cost of living crisis.
Hi I live in the North West of England and Aldi is so cheap…the price in pounds would have been about half what they paid. My daughter in law is from Auckland and they can’t afford to go and live in New Zealand which is a shame as such a beautiful country.
Hi guys if you don’t know the brand it’s best to look at the back and see where it’s made or imported from because it may be a bargain
2:25 your totally right there. I remember when they first showed up in uk and didn’t even really have much shelving. Things where stacked on boxes and they still had to type the numbers for everything even though I’m not that old and there was plenty of supermarkets with scanners 😂
This is going to be interesting ❤❤
I remember when I started shopping at Aldi back in the 90's. There were no barcode scanners or any technology at the tills. All the prices were in the checkout person's head.

the largest container of milk sold here is 6 Imperial pints which generally goes in supermarkets for around about £ 1.60 I think I normally buy smaller amounts

It is overall, the again Aldi in Germany is cheaper than ours, usually. What costs two pounds fifty here, if they sell the same thing there, will cost two euros fifty there. My German sister-in-law normaly tells us in advance of any decent offers comming up, as we usually get the same offers in the UK (Mainly middle aisle goods) a couple of weeks later?

I would never buy a pasta sauce again after I looked at the sugar content. I always make it.
Easy enough to make a simple sauce too. World of difference in the taste
Me too!
We try to find brands that don't have added sugar in them!
I’m part Italian; you can blend a bunch of fresh tomatoes or canned (with low salt) and blitz that in a blender, pour over some fried onion and garlic. Simmer for about 1 hour. You can add a fresh herb if you want to. You usually use the same amount of cans for the same amount of people; so x3 cans for 3 people. Or you could use way more if your making it in bulk. You can can it up or freeze it for another time or use it as ice cube moulds for other recipes, like soups. ❤
I LOVED watching you guys ❤️(you're like my additional American family 😁) go round a store we are familiar with. However it's SO VERY DIFFERENT to our Aldi! Shockingly so 😮! When considering that at this time, there isn't much difference between the $ and the £
For example all our milk comes from what's called Dairy cow's, they are all mainly grass fedand through the absolute WORST of the winter month's fed hay, with some pellets of compressed grass with added nutrients (but this is only in the frosty snowy weather). Everything except your fruit and veg, and good Irish cheese! (I'm from Scotland and wonder if there was any Scottish cheese 🤔🤔) I would say is more expensive even in an Aldi store, which was so surprising! In the Scottish Aldi, all our milk, cheese, and most of our soft fruits in season, and veg which can be grown here and meats are marked with a Scottish flag to show that they are products from here, many relatively local, or at least from our tiny country 😂. It's a great sign of quality, when you know it's grown locally. Also low air miles! It's not travelled 100's and 100's of miles just to get on your plate 😂 ❤
Aldi in the uk, their organic milk is £1.45 for a 4 pint (British pints) bottle at least in my Aldi.
If you check the price of milk across all uk supermarkets it is roughly the same price. As most supermarkets now price match lots of items to Aldi and or Lidl or have their own essentials range which in most cases are just as good as branded product’s
The only thing I have found that I don’t like are supermarkets own brand cornflakes (very sweet compared to Kellogg’s)
A gallon is 8 pints - you're quoting for 4 pints.
Think you mean 2pints don't you!
£1.45 for 4 UK pints or 2.3 litres.
A UK PINT IS 20% LARGER THAN A US PINT
Hi Steve! This is so funny... I've been working on my ALDI video for a couple months and finally published it today. And then UA-cam served me up your video and I was so surprised... great minds think alike! I had never really shopped at ALDI either, and really liked finding such great deals. But then I went to LIDL here in the UK, and it's even better! Same low prices but I think the product quality and the atmosphere in the stores is way better. But we don't have LIDL near us in Texas, just ALDI ;-) Great video! Dara
But where was the patio furniture, gas bbq,300 piece socket set etc its a male ritual in uk to pop to aldi for bread and turn up back home with a compressor and accessories.
Its good to see you all out and about, iceberg lettuce pricey, eggs pricey, like video s like this😊
With the prices displayed do you have to add tax at the till/checkout and if so, how much extra do you have to add on?
Fruits and vegetables are not taxed in the US
Shopping trolleys ( carts)in the uk are £1 , it encourages people to return them and not have them messing up the car park.
we are Brits and been to the USA 18 times over 40 years. When we first went in the 80s I was shocked how cheap food was there compared to the US and over the years they have taken over us and are now really expansive. Our son works and lives with his American fiancé in Columbus Ohio and they use Aldi a lot instead of Giant eagle and Krogers which they used to use btu they now have a local store called Trader Joes and they love the choice and the prices are great but I checked and the nearest one to you is in Louisville KY. ☹
Trades Joe, is Aldi Nord in America and Aldi is Aldi South. Two Brothers they split apart, like the brother Puma and Adidas.
What is raw milk? Is it another name for unpasteurised? Louis Pasteur would be very upset about that!
The brands you are not familiar with are Aldi's own brands. There are many online comparisons on UK website against the market leaders. The chocolate is very good actually. You make savings by trying the Aldi version
YES we have to put £1.00 in to use the Shopping Trolly (cart) in most suprrmarkets
The most expensive ALDI ....in the world 😮
Have you been watching Geoff Buys Cars and/or The MacMaster videos? 😂😉 When I read that comment, in my head, I could hear Lee saying it!
@@captainnutnut6077 Onwards! Wasn't expecting to see someone who watches those channels here.
@thefiestaguy8831 woo hoo! Hello fellow MacMaster sub! 😂👋
All I heard was Jeremy Clarkson saying that lol
@@theevilmrfry gotta love Clarkson! 😆
A little secret i will let slip... yes we do have to use either £1 or a coin slide imitation of a £1 for the trollys, but also, the key that opens the corned beef tins that we have in the stores in the uk or similar key on other tins to open, also work to unclip the trolly by using the handle part of the key.
It may be different shape fir your trolly shopper in the USA.
Worth clarifying that the coin to "pay for the cart" is totally refunded when the cart is returned after shopping.
Milk in the UK is around £2.41 for a US Gallon (= US$ 3.07) ... Although we don't buy it in US Gallons. We buy it in (UK) Pints, Yes, PINTS because dairy and beer is still sold in imperial measures - Don't ask!!)
And yeah we have a 1 pound coin in , only used to be cheaper places now its all over
i dont use coins i use discs i made on the 3d printer lol in the UK it would be a £1 coin
Or you can jsut have a key fob, with a dollar shaped token on it. :)
@CHEEKYMONKEY2647 So you spent money on filament and electricity when you could just use a refundable £1 coin?
@@c_n_bHe hands the trolly to old ladies as they arrive and takes their £1 off them, hence cheeky
Monkey
I mainly pop into Aldi or Lidl just for extra virgin olive oil and beer, and a few other bits which take my fancy as I walk around, my local Lidl does Staropramen and Budweiser Budvar which are actually brewed in Czechia and imported which makes a big difference over the ones brewed in the UK on license, they're both so good! Have you eve tried Czech Budweiser Budvar, it's so good and nothing like American Bud.
I agree about the beer. An interesting story: apparently Budweiser was founded by a Czech brewery worker who emigrated to the US from Budvar sometime in the 1800's. 100 years later when Budweiser entered the European market, they tried to stop Budvar from using their name. Budvar had been brewing and using the name Budvar for centuries. Needless to say, the yanks lost in court.
Reacting To My Roots come to the UK like other americans and you will be shocked by the taste and prices and of course NO long drives to the shops.
“ no long drives to the shops” Unless you live in rural Shropshire where you meet the takeaway driver at the half way point!!
@@allycbythesea7937 or in Bridgnorth where we're still waiting for takeaway drivers to be a thing 😂😂
